Two Men Carrying Staffs

Herman van Swanevelt

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a landscape viewed from above, framed in an oval shape. Two small figures are walking along a path or riverbank. The terrain is filled with trees and there is a prominent hill with a structure resembling a castle on top. In the distance, hills meet a sky with soft clouds and birds flying. The scene is rendered in monochrome using varying line density to convey texture and form.
